The mid-range Snapdragon 625 processor is not the most powerful in the business but offers a good balance of power optimization (leading to longer battery life) and performance push. If one looks at the core hardware of this phone, then it is largely similar to that on the Redmi Note 4. We’re talking about the Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 octa-core processor which has been built on a 14nm manufacturing process, 4GB RAM, 64GB of onboard storage, dual SIM support and a 5.5-inch 1080p LCD screen with Corning’s Gorilla Glass.

It figures out how to catch noteworthy photographs, yet a couple of exceptionally customary ones too. The bokeh shots are conflicting. By and large, the camera is very useful at its cost, and truly outstanding in the fragment. As usual, when one discusses video recording, it isn’t on a par with stills. Obviously, it can shoot even in 4k other than having time lapse and slow motion modes, notwithstanding, the absence of an optically steadied focal lens winds up plainly evident.

The Mi A1 uses Xiaomi’s own camera application, which is normal since the default Android camera application does not run dual cameras.
